Blog Review for www.laketahoerealestateblog.com
(Lake Tahoe Real Estate Blog / September 17, 2010 / Richard Bolen)
We didn’t ask for this, but we’re sure happy about it. Actually it’s a really nice, welcomed surprise. We didn’t know what to think when we were contacted via email a few days ago, one that asked us for permission to have our blog reviewed.
That email came in amid a flurry of activity, we agreed, and the truth is I pretty much didn’t think about us being reviewed thereafter. Until it came in yesterday.
Everybody likes hearing nice things said about them, but what gave me pause with this is the writer really did read a lot of our posts. He dug deep into our information resource, and some of his comments, while tremendously gratifying, exactly captures our purpose of providing information you can trust about Lake Tahoe and Us.

The first notable characteristic of Richard’s blog is his style. This is not a quality to ignore. Many blogs, though informative, are difficult to understand and laborious to read. Richard’s blog is not one of these. He is a gifted writer, and he communicates clearly and cleverly in his posts.

These reports include monthly home sales, total home sales, distressed property home sales, sales-to-date, median prices, and other statistics. This analysis will prove invaluable to anyone seeking information on the Lake Tahoe community. But Richard is not just a numbers guy.
He spends significant time reporting on the beauty of the Lake Tahoe area. One post in particular describes in heartfelt detail the wonder of living in such a quiet, refreshing place, high in the mountains, surrounded by clear air. He describes the serene Tahoe lifestyle in detail and claims that there is value to be found there beyond simply real estate, though he certainly advocates the value of the local land and homes as well.
He covers local news as well as national news. He even gives his feedback and professional analysis of major stories and columns run in papers such as the New York Times. He does this with wit, intelligence, and a hint of sarcasm. His work is enjoyable to read and valuable to study.
All told, Richard’s blog is an excellent resource for potential homebuyers who wish to learn about real estate in the South Lake Tahoe, CA, area. Check out what he has to say at www.laketahoerealestateblog.com.
